• 0:00
  Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
• 0:10
  defending biblical Christianity, no topic, off limits.
• 0:16
  And now, here's your host, David Fierazzo.
• 0:19
  Hey friends, welcome.
• 0:21
  Thank you so much for tuning in.
• 0:23
  Very important to podcast today because we're going to talk about a ministry to women and
• 0:27
  this is not just a local ministry, although they reside in Green Bay and the Green Bay, Wisconsin
• 0:33
  area.
• 0:34
  This is something that needs to happen across the country.
• 0:36
  And I'm so blessed to have these ladies back in studio with me.
• 0:39
  I'm going to give you the website first.
• 0:41
  It's frontlineharvestministry.com.
• 0:44
  That's frontlineharvestministry.com.
• 0:48
  A lot of information, a lot of stats, a lot of resources, and what they do more than what
• 0:53
  I can explain here.
• 0:54
  So I'm going to let them do the talking.
• 0:56
  So let me bring in my guests, Sarah, Tay, and Lisa.
• 0:59
  Welcome to the studio.
• 1:00
  Hi David.
• 1:01
  You're welcome.
• 1:02
  You guys have been on World View Matters before, but we have a rookie and that's Lisa.
• 1:06
  Hi.
• 1:07
  Yeah, Lisa, welcome.
• 1:08
  Good to have you.
• 1:09
  So the reason we have her here friends is because she's got an amazing story, amazing
• 1:13
  testimony that gives God the glory and what he's done in her life in recent years.
• 1:18
  But I want to go to Sarah and Tay.
• 1:21
  First of all, Sarah is the executive director, Tay is the operations manager, Lisa is a graduate
• 1:27
  and intern and house mom.
• 1:29
  Yeah.
• 1:30
  Praise God.
• 1:31
  So Sarah, let's start with you because you started frontlineharvestministry.
• 1:37
  We talked, I mean, probably several times ago that when we had you in, you shared a little
• 1:42
  bit of your background and testimony because what got you into starting this ministry
• 1:47
  to women, if you can just briefly share that.
• 1:49
  Okay.
• 1:50
  Yeah.
• 1:51
  So I came out of a lifestyle of darkness, you know, with being exposed to addiction and
• 1:58
  violence and watching my mom go through things.
• 2:02
  So my training ground was my mom because when she was growing up, she was molested and
• 2:07
  raped and on the streets and eventually when she got pregnant with me, she was already
• 2:12
  an addict and a stripper and into different things.
• 2:16
  So she wasn't supposed to ever have children and because of all the abuse, sexual abuse,
• 2:23
  she had so many miscarriages.
• 2:26
  It was in Miracle that she had me, but that left me with some severe consequences.
• 2:31
  So when I was born, I died and my heart stopped and so that left me with a lot of cognitive
• 2:37
  problems my whole life.
• 2:39
  But by the time I was 19, I was in a very abusive relationship with Amia and that was a huge
• 2:44
  drug dealer and I was also in addiction and I was a dancer and I followed my mom steps
• 2:51
  and being exposed to that and all the trauma that comes with that, I just didn't believe
• 2:57
  in Jesus because I also had a background of believing in the Native American beliefs
• 3:02
  system and new age and a fortune telling and all of that.
• 3:07
  But Jesus revealed himself to me through a lady that was from Sri Lanka and being able
• 3:13
  to see somebody from a different culture, like reach out to me and see her passion for
• 3:18
  Jesus and able to answer my questions from the Bible.
• 3:22
  It really woke me up to realizing the truth and one day she asked me if I needed prayer
• 3:28
  and she prayed over me for healing because of my problems with my brain and prayed the
• 3:34
  gospel and as she was praying that I could understand that Jesus was that he is God and
• 3:41
  that he died and rose again and I had repented and in that moment I could just feel his power
• 3:47
  go through my whole body and I felt the healing happen and indeed I was healed and my
• 3:53
  mom thought I was crazy but through all the testings, you know, they didn't have the
• 3:58
  answer but I told her it was Jesus that healed me even though they don't know how I have
• 4:03
  the abilities now that I do, Jesus healed me and he set me free and so after that because
• 4:10
  we were struggling with homelessness, the Lord opened the door for us to have this home
• 4:14
  that my mom always wanted to have on the street that we grew up on and yeah, from that point
• 4:20
  on it was like, Lord, thank you and we're going to give this to you to serve you and since
• 4:26
  then we never looked back.
• 4:28
  Wow.
• 4:29
  I get encouraged just hearing that again and I know I've heard it several times but especially
• 4:33
  those viewers that are new to world view matters are thinking, I mean, you've been through
• 4:37
  a lot and now you are totally fulfilling your purpose, glorifying God and ministering
• 4:41
  to women and helping those who a lot of them were where you were but more of them were
• 4:46
  are in prison.
• 4:47
  They come out of prison and they've got a place, I'll throw this one over to Te, Shantay,
• 4:53
  would you please explain how that works?
• 4:56
  You get in touch with women who are incarcerated, whether the drug problems or sex trafficking
• 5:01
  or whatever they end up in prison and they come out and usually where do they go?
• 5:07
  You have a place now and you're working with Sarah, share a little bit about that.
• 5:11
  Yeah, so actually Sarah is the one who mainly has to write contact with the women because
• 5:15
  she works closely with the gel and in a probation officer and everything, yeah, so she goes
• 5:20
  to the gel and she does like chaplain ministry there, 101 meetings with them, gets to know
• 5:25
  their story and see where their heart is and if the harvest home is a good choice for
• 5:29
  them if they're ready and a lot of times most of them are ready and they're just ready
• 5:33
  for a change in their life and Jesus, they come to the final that he's the answer and
• 5:37
  so they end up coming to the harvest home, we do interview and take with them and then
• 5:41
  we welcome them with a caribag with our house, Mom Lisa and so honestly it's just really
• 5:47
  like beginning like and within the walls of the confinement.
• 5:51
  They get out of prison, they have nothing, most of them I'm guessing, they start with
• 5:57
  nothing and they get a caribag, they have a home.
• 6:01
  So back a little bit and share what harvest home is.
• 6:03
  Yeah, so harvest home literally is just a place for women to come to actually experience
• 6:08
  a relationship with Jesus and experience healing, transformation, freedom, hope and what
• 6:14
  healthy bonding relationships look like and because we have that environment and we have
• 6:19
  the women who come in and out every week lay in the groundwork for these women through
• 6:25
  the Bible and through workbooks and the classes, they're getting so much nourishment and
• 6:31
  feed them for their soul, for their heart and healing from the trauma, they get to address
• 6:35
  that too and the fact that we get to be part of their journey is amazing and it's a blessing
• 6:40
  from the Lord.
• 6:41
  So let me direct people to frontlineharvestministry.com and there's a link if you scroll at the top, it
• 6:47
  says harvest home, just click on that at the top of the page there and you'll see and
• 6:52
  there's an application there.
• 6:54
  I wouldn't think that would be people in prison but that would be maybe others locally.
• 6:59
  So a lot of people might ask like how do women come to harvest home, right?
• 7:05
  So we are recommended or referred by parole officers, social workers, chaplains, case managers
• 7:15
  through treatments, attorneys, other agencies, human trafficking organizations, chaplains
• 7:21
  like you did say, and word of mouth in the streets because we've been doing this for 18
• 7:26
  years.
• 7:27
  A lot of women know that.
• 7:28
  Has it been that long?
• 7:29
  18 years?
• 7:30
  Yeah.
• 7:31
  Praise God.
• 7:32
  A lot of women know about us and they'll reach out, they find me on Facebook and those types
• 7:36
  of things.
• 7:37
  So after that, once I get in contact, we have an application process.
• 7:43
  So we do have a handbook and I always recommend, please review the handbook to the harvest
• 7:47
  home before you apply because it might change your mind and the handbook is pretty extensive
• 7:52
  to know like what they're going to be committed to, what expectations they're going to be because
• 7:57
  there are expectations and rules.
• 8:00
  And so then they can apply and then we review that and normally do an interview.
• 8:04
  So there's a jail outreach that we do.
• 8:06
  So mainly it's me, I go into the jail and I'll meet with them one on one.
• 8:11
  But we have been working in the tribal jail in Kashina.
• 8:14
  So God has opened up some doors here so this is our team, we have some others that come
• 8:19
  with us and it's a good thing to connect with the women and when the women do, when they're
• 8:25
  about to get out, they connect and we make sure that we have somebody there to pick them
• 8:30
  up often.
• 8:31
  Lisa will be there to pick them up from the jail or a different advocate from the home
• 8:35
  or intern and we make sure they come straight to us because there is a huge high risk
• 8:41
  that if we don't get them right to us from jail, they will relax and just continue to
• 8:45
  re-offend and keep doing the same thing.
• 8:48
  Yeah, return to their lifestyle.
• 8:49
  So you mentioned the tribal jail, Kashina.
• 8:55
  We're local here.
• 8:57
  People around the country are going, what exactly is that?
• 8:59
  They don't understand the makeup of Onida Nation and Wisconsin and so could you briefly explain
• 9:04
  that?
• 9:05
  Yeah, so the tribal jail is basically a jail that's on the reservation in Kashina for
• 9:11
  the manamany tribe.
• 9:13
  So that is a different kind, it operates different than the brown county or different jails because
• 9:19
  it's on the Native American land, the reservation, so they do things differently.
• 9:24
  So for them to allow us to come and just minister to these women and teach them about trauma
• 9:31
  and educate them about addiction and things and then also share the gospel with them and
• 9:36
  pray with them.
• 9:37
  And every time they get saved and they bring more people next time and they get saved.
• 9:42
  So it's amazing.
• 9:43
  Yes.
• 9:44
  Awesome.
• 9:45
  So times running out really quickly, it's not running out, it's going by fast.
• 9:48
  I want to get to Lisa because one of the reasons you're here is you've got quite a powerful
• 9:52
  testimony and story.
• 9:54
  So I may need to have you pause it halfway through.
• 9:57
  We need to take a brief break, but right now I just want you to open up how you met these
• 10:01
  ladies and how you came to be where you are and how Jesus just saved you, healed you
• 10:08
  and delivered you.
• 10:09
  Okay.
• 10:10
  So everything is in my testimony.
• 10:13
  I'll just read.
• 10:16
  Okay.
• 10:17
  Okay.
• 10:18
  Okay.
• 10:19
  Before I came to Harvestome, I was so lost and broken, I felt defeated.
• 10:23
  At a young age I was left to fend for myself.
• 10:26
  I grew up on the manamany reservation.
• 10:28
  So I grew up around a lot of destruction, drugs and alcohol and violence.
• 10:32
  I was sexually assaulted and abused by my father and relatives.
• 10:36
  I never went to school.
• 10:37
  I was always running away.
• 10:39
  So I grew up on the streets real fast.
• 10:42
  So that being said, when you're in that kind of environment and lifestyle, I gained a kind
• 10:47
  of mentality, mentality, attitude and my heart was very heartened.
• 10:52
  I've created so many walls for myself that I didn't know how to take down.
• 10:56
  I found out later that I learned exactly how I was going to or he was going to.
• 11:01
  I created a lot of destruction chaos.
• 11:03
  I felt so much pain at this time.
• 11:05
  Everyone that I came across felt my pain.
• 11:07
  I inflicted so much pain onto others and myself.
• 11:10
  I tried to take my own life on several different occasions.
• 11:14
  I was on medications for all sorts of things in and out of mental institutions.
• 11:19
  I was a prisoner in my own mind.
• 11:21
  I had a lot of anger and aggression.
• 11:23
  I went through a very abusive marriage.
• 11:25
  I was 14 years old when I met him and I was and he was 24.
• 11:30
  He was an ex-cop and a combat vet.
• 11:33
  My adds seven children together with him and the Lord still used a situation in my life.
• 11:40
  I went through a lot of secular treatment facilities, AODA, A-A-N-A, mental and behavioral
• 11:47
  counseling for years.
• 11:49
  I started experiencing drugs very small underage drinking, weed, coke, crack, pills, heroin,
• 11:57
  meth, fentanyl.
• 12:00
  That led to eventually using a needle to inject anything into my veins.
• 12:04
  I overdosed three times.
• 12:07
  All these drugs gave me a false reality of hope, life and love.
• 12:11
  The whole time it was just a cover-up to hide all the destructive feelings inside.
• 12:16
  I had a heart exterior on the outside and the whole time I was broken on the inside.
• 12:21
  I remember looking around many times, everything was dead.
• 12:24
  There was no life in anything, not in the trees, not in the flowers.
• 12:29
  There was no purpose to life.
• 12:30
  I was in total darkness.
• 12:33
  People were Odin, Iodid, death was all around me.
• 12:38
  I couldn't even look in the mirror because I didn't even know who I was.
• 12:43
  At that time, the emptiness, darkness, brokenness, brokenness, I lost myself and everything
• 12:49
  that I loved.
• 12:51
  The devil thought that he had me, but God had other plans for me.
• 12:56
  With the enemy he went for bad, God turned it around for good because that's what he
• 13:00
  does.
• 13:01
  Amen.
• 13:02
  You know, can we pause right there because we're going to take a brief break, but just the
• 13:08
  fact that you tried to take your own life several times and you're here, doesn't that
• 13:12
  remind you every day that God's got a purpose for you bigger than what you thought or you
• 13:16
  have ever imagined?
• 13:19
  What a huge part of your story.
• 13:21
  Thank you, Jesus, for saving her, literally, physically and spiritually.
• 13:26
  Yes.
• 13:27
  Oh, Lisa, I'm just getting chills, just hearing your story and just acknowledging that
• 13:32
  fact.
• 13:33
  It's so good to have you here with Sarah and Tay.
• 13:35

• 14:47
  minutes about how you can connect and how this needs to happen across the country, not
• 14:52
  just in Wisconsin, but the website, again, frontlineharvestministry.com, frontlineharvest
• 14:59
  ministry.com.
• 15:00
  I want to get back to their story and I'm glad I'm not doing as much talking because
• 15:04
  you guys, you guys all have amazing testimonies.
• 15:07
  Your life and your stories are compelling.
• 15:10
  Lisa, let's go back to you and just wherever you want to pick it up because it is just
• 15:14
  astounding the fact that you overdosed and you tried to take your life and you had such
• 15:20
  just a hard, hard season.
• 15:24
  Imagine well, for most people, maybe listening and watching right now, but go ahead and pick
• 15:29
  it up from wherever you'd like.
• 15:30
  Okay.
• 15:31
  All right.
• 15:32
  So, through all the destruction, accusing, still bound and in chains, behind bars and
• 15:38
  in and out of jail, the Lord was still moving on my behalf.
• 15:42
  What I didn't see then, what I see now, close encounters with that was God's protection.
• 15:52
  So one of them last times I was in jail is how I met Sarah Christensen, the director
• 15:56
  and founder of Frontline Harvest Home.
• 15:59
  Mind you, I was in the program before.
• 16:01
  I was at the peak of my addiction, still bound and then changed to an accuser at our adversary.
• 16:07
  I left.
• 16:09
  But as I walked out that door, I could hear a very, I could still hear a voice.
• 16:15
  Very faint.
• 16:16
  It told me to turn around.
• 16:20
  I didn't listen.
• 16:22
  The Lord still used this situation as well.
• 16:26
  So I'm also in the heroin court program.
• 16:30
  They allowed me to come to Harvest Home after a mental evaluation.
• 16:34
  They didn't understand why I sat and changed without medications.
• 16:37
  Wow.
• 16:38
  But anyway, although two years in the program, I graduate tomorrow after two years.
• 16:43
  So this is the end of one life and the beginning of another.
• 16:48
  I just don't give me a second chance at life.
• 16:50
  I came last, broken, indenisal, rebellious, defiant.
• 16:54
  I didn't trust anyone, let alone myself.
• 16:57
  But this program is set up for women like myself.
• 17:01
  So through all the Bible studies, which are every day all day, there are so many great
• 17:04
  women of faith that come in and teach study, mentor, counsel us from the Bible.
• 17:10
  They help us build a firm foundation and relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
• 17:14
  through prayer and fasting, healing, restoration, healing at
• 17:18
  and restoration and repentance and most importantly, having faith.
• 17:22
  I came to the Harvest Home seeking happiness and hope.
• 17:26
  I can tell you I got something greater than that.
• 17:29
  My life has been dramatically and radically changed.
• 17:32
  I came out of the darkness, came out of the darkness and placed into the light and
• 17:37
  glorious hands of our Lord.
• 17:40
  I have a joy in my spirit that never leaves the Lord.
• 17:43
  Thank you, Jesus.
• 17:44
  I've been sober for close to two years and I think about my past and it's just like
• 17:50
  a memory or like a bad dream that I've just now waking up from.
• 17:56
  Having new eyes, a soft and open heart, the supernatural transformation.
• 18:02
  I now live a spirit-filled life and walk in faith every day.
• 18:05
  Thank you, Jesus.
• 18:06
  Wow.
• 18:07
  This is what it's about you guys.
• 18:11
  I'm getting teary-eyed just hearing this because this is church.
• 18:15
  Jesus really does make all things new and we are new creations in him.
• 18:22
  Gosh, this has never happened to be on the show before.
• 18:26
  Just to hear your story, it's a miracle.
• 18:31
  You guys, mentorship is important, discipleship is important, the word of God is important and
• 18:37
  just to hear the fact that you didn't need meds that Jesus did it.
• 18:43
  God did it.
• 18:44
  Absolutely.
• 18:45
  Why don't you guys share a little bit more about how you minister to her and how you minister
• 18:49
  to other women?
• 18:50
  Yeah, so let me just share about how harvest home supports and serves women, survivors
• 18:56
  of human trafficking and addiction.
• 18:59
  Through a trauma-informed, holistic faith-based approach, our team is helping women heal
• 19:04
  and achieve hundreds of personal goals on a journey to restoration rooted in the gospel
• 19:09
  of Jesus Christ and committed to the full mental, emotional and spiritual healing of each
• 19:15
  survivor.
• 19:17
  So basically, we have different groups in discipleship and teaching in classes and different things
• 19:25
  and we women come in, they're learning how to do a structured routine, they're learning
• 19:31
  about accountability and they're also gaining a family of love and they're learning how
• 19:36
  to live in a healthy way with people in gain trust again and then through that it fosters
• 19:42
  this bridge to them to see Jesus Christ in real time.
• 19:47
  So it's not just they're showing up somewhere to learn, but they're seeing it through relationship,
• 19:52
  they're seeing it through connection, they're seeing it in how people are responding to
• 19:56
  them, embracing them, welcoming them right where they are and so that's what happened
• 20:01
  with Lisa's who ought and it was literally a miracle of her being able to come back to
• 20:06
  us.
• 20:07
  Yes, it sounds like it, it sounds like it, just to see the joy of the Lord just beating
• 20:12
  from you now.
• 20:13
  I know you kind of get distracted easily so you had to look at your notes when you shared
• 20:17
  your story, but just look at this, look at this, that's Jesus all over her.
• 20:22
  It's so encouraging and it's so attractive to people and I would imagine even unbelievers
• 20:28
  seeing, especially if they knew you before, they're going, what the heck, yeah, you know,
• 20:33
  it's a miracle.
• 20:34
  And that's how we have some, another lady from her hair in court actually joined our program
• 20:40
  because she was in her court and another girl looked at her and she's a, and looked
• 20:45
  at them like, what in the world she's like, I know her from before, what has changed her
• 20:50
  life?
• 20:51
  She can see something different.
• 20:52
  That's right.
• 20:53
  And so she inquired it, she came to her Bible study and she was touched and she's like,
• 20:57
  I need to come here for this program and she did and she recently graduated.
• 21:02
  So we just recently had a graduation in February of six women.
• 21:05
  So tell us about that.
• 21:06
  I mean, I have, my notes, I have barely looked at them here since you guys came in.
• 21:11
  But so you had a recent graduation of six ladies and then three of them moved into their
• 21:15
  own places and have full-time jobs and they're back with their families, restored.
• 21:21
  Yes.
• 21:22
  Tay, do you want to talk a little bit about that?
• 21:23
  Because I did.
• 21:24
  You know, yes, you're right.
• 21:26
  Three women, full-time jobs in their own places, restored to their family.
• 21:30
  These are our goals.
• 21:31
  These are our things they've never thought possible that can happen to be restored to
• 21:35
  their family.
• 21:36
  To be looked at as a new person, not treated as to add it or anything.
• 21:40
  You know, literally just watching the relationships being built and how we still stay connected
• 21:46
  together.
• 21:47
  We still do events together.
• 21:48
  We still go out and do audience together, celebrate birthdays, sober.
• 21:52
  And you know, it's just all a new thing that God is doing with the women there.
• 21:56
  And especially once, it's just to graduate too.
• 21:59
  Just to see the transition.
• 22:01
  Summer outrishes.
• 22:02
  Yup.
• 22:03
  Summer out, which is starting up soon.
• 22:04
  Yes, they are.
• 22:05
  In July through August, every Monday will be at different parks.
• 22:09
  Different parks and we serve food.
• 22:11
  We may hurry up.
• 22:12
  Yup.
• 22:13
  And we'll be serving food and leading worship and sharing the gospel with people and having
• 22:16
  resource tables for them so that will be a blessing.
• 22:19
  So I don't want to run out of time before we talk a little bit about your needs.
• 22:23
  You know, obviously you run on donations and you've got a lot of expenses you're trying
• 22:27
  to do.
• 22:28
  What are you trying to do?
• 22:29
  You're trying to build two rooms and a bathroom?
• 22:31
  Yes.
• 22:32
  Tell us a little bit about your needs and how people can give before run out of time.
• 22:35
  Yes.
• 22:36
  So we have a lot of needs and goals.
• 22:38
  We are trying to expand since we have many women.
• 22:43
  I know we can't help everybody.
• 22:45
  But we do feel the Lord is calling us to expand and there are more that we can reach.
• 22:50
  And if he's working in this such fruitful way, why not keep going, right?
• 22:55
  So we are trying to build two more rooms and a bathroom upstairs in our attic.
• 23:00
  We would like to employ some of our interns, you know, maybe Lisa or, you know, but we
• 23:05
  would like to do that.
• 23:06
  So we are really praying for women, men, people that have it on their heart to see people's
• 23:14
  lives restored, to become monthly financial supporters and being able to help us reach
• 23:19
  the goals and reach the people we need to reach.
• 23:23
  So they can do that on the website?
• 23:24
  Yup.
• 23:25
  They can go on the website.
• 23:26
  They can go on the website or my email is down there.
• 23:28
  They can contact me for our PO box and they can send a check if they could go on the
• 23:33
  website.
• 23:34
  Okay.
• 23:35
  Yeah.
• 23:36
  Okay.
• 23:37
  So I see at the very bottom there your number, your email and under give, donate now.
• 23:43
  What is that connect to?
• 23:44
  Paypal?
• 23:45
  Okay.
• 23:46
  Yeah.
• 23:47
  Okay.
• 23:48
  So before we run out of time, you said you could do this.
• 23:52
  You travel a little bit.
• 23:53
  Yeah.
• 23:54
  You want to get other state involved and tell us a little bit about that.
• 23:57
  Yes.
• 23:58
  So our vision is to connect nationwide.
• 24:01
  We collaborate with other organizations across the America.
• 24:05
  And you could speak at churches?
• 24:06
  Yup.
• 24:07
  And we can go to places.
• 24:08
  So if churches have a heart for us to come and maybe educate people about it.
• 24:13
  Have some of our girls bring testimonies and share with them what we're doing and just
• 24:18
  being able to raise the awareness and bring even hope because there's so many families
• 24:23
  right?
• 24:24
  That struggle with this.
• 24:25
  And just to remind people like not to give up praying and just being able to see the
• 24:29
  power of what Jesus can do in lives, we would go and we would share wherever we're invited
• 24:35
  to.
• 24:36
  Awesome.
• 24:37
  Awesome.
• 24:38
  Awesome.
• 24:39
  Awesome.
• 24:40
  Awesome.
• 24:41
  Awesome.
• 24:42
  Awesome.
• 24:43
  We love his home, stories, resources, community partners, and then you can obviously give.
• 24:48
  So if this has touched you, I just wasn't expecting it to, you know, affect me the way
• 24:53
  it did here.
• 24:54
  I'm supposed to be professional, right?
• 24:56
  My goodness.
• 24:57
  I got a little choked up because I just see the Lord working, Lisa.
• 25:00
  Yeah.
• 25:01
  That's just amazing to hear your story.
• 25:03
  Thank you for sharing it.
• 25:04
  Thank you for coming in.
• 25:05
  I'm so glad.
• 25:06
  We've had you guys here.
• 25:07
  You can have us again.
• 25:08
  Yeah.
• 25:09
  What do we down to?
• 25:10
  Two and a half minutes.
• 25:11
  Is there anything on your heart that you would like to share to viewers and listeners
• 25:15
  before we let you go?
• 25:19
  That just keep praying.
• 25:21
  You know, there is help, there is hope.
• 25:23
  You know, if you put your faith in Jesus, you know, he's there to help.
• 25:27
  You know, he's the only one that can heal us from all of our brokenness and destruction
• 25:32
  that we try to do to ourselves.
• 25:34
  You know, we do have a very cunning enemy.
• 25:37
  Yeah.
• 25:38
  We use that.
• 25:39
  He's a very good accuser, you know, but, but the Lord, he who is greater and thus is greater
• 25:44
  than he was in the world, right?
• 25:46
  Absolutely.
• 25:47
  Thank you, Holy Spirit.
• 25:48
  So Sarah, any closing thoughts we've got about a minute and a half?
• 25:51
  Yeah.
• 25:52
  Just, I would just hope that this can bring encouragement as well to people and just
• 25:57
  remind people that God has the power to make anything possible, whatever looks impossible.
• 26:04
  All things are possible with him and he can turn anything around.
• 26:08
  So I just, because she came one way and left and it looked like where is God in this, you
• 26:14
  know, because I, I love Lisa and I didn't want to see her leave just continuing to pray
• 26:19
  for two years and how he opened the doors miraculously and what he did in her, like just don't
• 26:26
  give up praying ever.
• 26:27
  It looked impossible that God is a God of the possible and he just does amazing miracles
• 26:33
  to take 30 seconds and anything to share it and encourage people.
• 26:36
  Yeah, just, I just hope that that story touches everyone who's listening on the fact that,
• 26:40
  you know, we don't give up on people with key pray and we keep going out there, you know,
• 26:46
  and just trying to reach people with the gospel and even with having compassion and loving
• 26:50
  them where they're at.
• 26:51
  A lot of times people think it's really complicated, just meet them where they're at and I'm thankful
• 26:56
  because God has made me wear a man.
• 26:57
  He's met us all we're at that's sharing today.
• 27:00
  So we learned through Jesus model, meet people where they're at and just love them where
• 27:05
  they're at and pray for them.
• 27:06
  And you've shared your story on this podcast before and you've all got amazing testimonies.
• 27:11
  No one, this reminds me, no one is without hope.
• 27:15
  No one is too far from God and that's, that's the bigger story there.
• 27:19
  He really does miracles.
• 27:20
  He can change a human heart and just redirect their life.
• 27:24
  Ladies, thank you so much.
• 27:25

• 27:26
